jeff, have we reached the limits of our technology. the people that did this didn t want to be found. they eluded our technology. if someone did in fact want to do it. i m don lemon. that s it for us tonight. ac 360 starts right now. good evening. it is 11 p.m. here on the east coast and 11 a.m. in australia where the flight for flight 370 is running in to problems. it completed a full mission. questions of why there is only one of them in the water only one of them in the water and new questions about the cell phone signals and the aircraft itself. is it even conceivable that the pilot s phone was the only one transmitting or are they holding something back? do they have a plan b? a crucial 24 hours ahead as we have all the angles on that. also tonight, survivors on the sinking ferry in south korea
indoors, even though the snow is letting up in this part of alabama. the roads are still very treacherous. not only the roads but especially the bridges which tend to ice first because they don t have the warm ground underneath to melt the ice. take a look at this video that we shot late this afternoon. this is the i-8 a-i 65 interchange just outside of downtown montgomery where a truck jackknifed. very icy conditions on that overpass. further up i-6 a, people stranded in traffic were abandoning their cars and walking on foot. this afternoon, emergency management personnel held a news conference saying that below temperatures and wind chill, this is a very dangerous idea. they urge stranded people to stay in their cars and call 911 for assistance. even if the drivers don t know exactly where they re. rescuers can track their location using the cell phone signals. and here in alabama and neighboring tennessee, roads to several schools, several grade schools became impassable so quickly
why even put it up for a vote? well, first thing, the fcc is a technical agency and what they said was we ve had a rule in place not allowing cell phone use on aircraft because of the fears that the cell phone signals would interfere with the electronics on board and also with the networks and what they ve said is that it now looks like there s technology at hand that can shield the cell phone signal from those other systems and make that a lot more safe. you can get on a plane and use your smartphone based on each airline s wishes. so the fcc is saying, as long as there s technology that makes our ban unnecessary, you don t need us. we re going to step out of the way. and we may say that an airline has to have this new technology on board to shield before it can allow passengers to use phones but that s fine.

they re follow his cell phone location. you get it from the cell phone towers. they transmit the cell phone location. they target his cell phone as he moved around the city, and they try to find the people, the cell phone signals moving with him or maybe meeting up with him, more than one time. and they track that as they go along. like if he moves from one point to another in a city and let s say 200 people randomly follow him from that one point to another, and then he moves to another location and maybe only 20 people follow him there, they re narrowing it down. that s where they can track maybe the one associate who stays with him as he moves around the city. and they do it all through cell phone location. your cell phone can emit your location even when you re not using it. sometimes even when it s not turned on. huh. brian todd, we ll look for more of you reporting with wolf in the situation room. thank you very much. now a picture. the ford mustang looking sharp at age 50, h
